Beef, eggplant and lentil salad

Serves:

Ingredients

• 500g beef rump steak
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 x 350g jar marinated feta
• 2 x 400g can lentils, drained, rinsed
• 200g grape tomatoes, halved
• 100g chargrilled eggplant, chopped
• 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Method

Heat a chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer cooked steaks to a plate, cover with foil and stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Drain the feta, reserving a quarter of a cup of oil from the jar. Place the lentils on a platter and top with tomato, eggplant, parsley and feta. Drizzle with reserved oil, season and serve.

Notes:

• This is a great dish for barbecues and picnics. You can just throw your ingredients together and cook the steak when you get there.
• You can use any cut of beef you like in this recipe, but rump steak is rather delicious.
